and some biden people in the room. the folks who know the issues extremely well. the room itself is set up -- the stage exactly like the debate will be, so when you do the mock debates, you're really in character. you don't -- you do the timing of the debates, the format exactly the same, so that you're comfortable with that kind of format, so it is really a very serious effort, and it can be a lot of fun, though, too, i must say. >> i read that you wore the red dress and the glasses to impersonate sarah palin. >> i did. i did the whole thing. yeah. for sure. you bet. i got it. >> even -- even the you betcha. that's a good impersonation. john kerry, he is the stand-in nosh mitt romney this go around. what is he doing with the president? i assume that there's a lot of tough policy questions. are they practicing zingers as well? how are they actually doing that? >> you know, i'm not sure how it's working out for them, but i can tell you what i would do or what normally is done. the challenge is that you are on offense. y
